Since yesterday I have been checking the news feeds off and on. I had to take the time to read carefully about Hamas. Then I realized that I was not the one who did not understand.
Hamas is upset that it has been declared a terrorist organization. They seem to have forgotten their roots. In December of 1987 they were established as local political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood was declared a terrorist organization on December 25, 2013. Hamas was declared a terrorist organization Saturday Feb. 28, 2015. Murder was a theme for the actions of both groups.
Hamas has a history of violence. This apple did not fall far from the tree.
